    Ohhhh man! I can’t wait until I get into DS9.

    Question: Should I watch the TNG movies first, or can I jump into DS9 at any time?

      I would not only start DS9 before watching all the TNG movies, I’d consider starting it before finishing TNG. After all, they overlap in time period both in-universe and in terms of production. Specifically, season 1 of DS9 happens roughly concurrently with season 6 of TNG.

      It’s not overly important to watch it that way, but at least it avoids continuity weirdness with O’Brien and Worf.

            This isn’t necessarily directed at you, but just an expression of frustration with the enshittified web:

            I don’t know what that link is, but a link to a PDF is one whose url ends in .pdf and, when clicked, downloads a file that you can then open and display in your PDF rendering software of choice. It does not open a motherfucking HTML file that displays the document along with some other Google Docs UI bullshit that prevents you from downloading the actual PDF file properly!

                Awesome, thanks!

                …wow, that is a much more manual and complicated workflow than I expected. I thought it was going to be more like a batch-process script or something.

      I think you can just jump into DS9 at this point? Its for the most part self contained, with some imported characters from TNG, but nothing that would require knowledge of the movies? Its a great series, with a planned arc ala babylon 5 (some very close similarities with babylon 5… very very close)

      There’s a spoiler for Generations in DS9’s season 4 premier but you don’t have to watch the movie to appreciate the show.

      Wait, are there movies?

      (\s, of course, but if you need them to understand anything, I wouldn’t be able to tell.)

    What the difference between Sisko and the human colonists of Solosos 3?

    …Sisko can live with what he did with trilithium resin.
